Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 377 The Real Criminal

Sydney was so angry that she laughed. "I thought she was stung by conscience. It turns out she knew she couldn't hide anymore." Julien looked at her and asked, "What are you going to do with her?"

"There's no rush. I need to figure out her motives for attacking me." Sydney's nails dug into her palms, and her face was frosty.

Julien suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "She didn't come clean."

"She didn't?" Sydney was surprised.

Julien rubbed his fingers and showed a murderous look. "Yep, she wouldn't talk no matter how the police interrogated her." Sydney gritted her teeth. "That's tough of her." "Luke saw her. According to him, there seems to be something supporting her spiritually preventing her from coming clean." Julien's thin lips pursed into a line. He didn't go to visit that woman in the police station, but Zach had.

According to Zach, the police even tried shining a bright light but still failed to crack the suspect. That woman didn't look tough at all. On the contrary, she was an ordinary and somewhat timid woman. Now such a woman was clinging to something and refused to reveal anything.

Something was holding her back, or else her willpower couldn't have been so strong.

"What is that woman called?" Sydney took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Julien looked at her and replied, "Jane Carter."

That was a commonplace name.

"Jane Carter?" Sydney looked confused. Apparently, she had never met or heard of this woman.

There was no grudge between them. Why did this woman do such a thing to her?

Was she incited or...

Sydney was puzzled to no end.

"I'm going to visit that woman in the police station tomorrow and ask her in person," Sydney said with a sullen face.

She would not settle until she figured out everything!

Julien was not supportive of her plan since

she hadn't recovered yet.

But her determined look made him dismiss the idea of dissuading her.

The Madden's house at Eastview Haven.

Clarice learned about Jane's capture and felt antsy. She barely ate anything for supper and went back to her room with the excuse of feeling unwell.

She sat on the edge of the bed, her breathing quick and heavy. Anxiety was visible in her eyes and on her face.

She was scared and afraid that Jane would rat her out.

She had a deal with Jane. The latter agreed to receive the police investigation for Clarice and promised that she would not snitch. However, there was no guarantee that Jane would keep her words. Since the afternoon, she had been on tenterhooks. She was absent-minded when she was going shopping with her mother. Right after dinner, she saw the news of Jane's capture and lost her head. She was afraid that the police would come and take her, the real criminal, away.

That was right. The real attacker was her rather than Jane.

She ran across Jane one day before she carried out her plan. Aware that Jane was badly in need of money to save her son, Clarice started a conversation and made a deal with Jane. Clarice gave Jane money to treat her son. In exchange, Jane took the rap for her.

She came up with a plan, asking Jane to buy a set of men's clothes and bring them to the department store. At five o'clock in the afternoon, they swap clothes in the restroom. In Jane's clothes, she went to Shallow Bay to remove Sydney's mole while Jane posed as her and went back to the village in a taxi. After removing Sydney's mole, Clarice went to rejoin Jane in the village and got her clothes back. Her plan owed its success to the similar height and weight of Jane and her. Otherwise, the police would have noticed the difference between the attacker and the suspect.

After changing back into her clothes, Clarice went back to the Madden's house and snapped the stick with which she struck Sydney. With some old clothes, she wrapped them up, put them into a black garbage bag, and threw them away.

She took the stick back home because if she threw it away at Shallow Bay or the village, the police might replace it. Her fingerprints might not have been completely cleaned. Once it was found out, her plan would be for nothing.

She struck Sydney instead of asking Jane to do it because the latter was timider than her. When Jane heard about hitting people, she wouldn't do it. Unable to convince her, Clarice had to do it herself. Clarice was evil and sophisticated, but she had never really hurt anyone before. She was nervous and scared, but for the sake of her future, she bit the bullet. After finishing the job, she was no longer scared but worried about being caught.

As the news had it, Jane was arrested at about four o'clock in the afternoon and several hours from now. The police didn't come to her, which meant that Jane didn't rat her out.

Clarice's worries abated a little.

She got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking at the night sky, she murmured, "Ms. Raines, don't blame me for this. I have to consider my future. It was Mr. Cohen and you who brought me to paradise and inspired my ambition. You're the cause and have yourself to blame, Clarice..."

Nine o'clock the next morning.

Sydney told Luke to ask for a morning off for her and prepared to visit Jane at the police station.

Unable to dissuade her, Luke got her a wheelchair and went with her.

As soon as they arrived at the parking lot, Zach wheeled Julien over.

Luke stood with arms akimbo and asked," What, you want to go with us?"

Julien said nonchalantly, "Can't I? I helped to catch the suspect and have the right to be there."

Luke pouted. "If it were not for that, I would have stopped you."

"Cut it out, Luke. Let's go." Unable to see, Sydney groped for Luke, patted his hand, and helplessly urged him, "We only have one morning to do this, remember?"

"Sorry darling, you know, whenever I saw Julien, I couldn't help judging him. Okay, I'm getting you into the car." With that, he took out the keys and opened the car door.

On the side, Zach coughed to stifle a laugh and said to Julien, "Mr. Flint, let's get in the car too."

Julien hummed in consent but fixed his eyes on Sydney instead of moving.

Till Luke helped her get into the car, he signaled to Zach to get him into the car.

Following the front car, the second car arrived at the police station a dozen seconds later.

Luke went in while pushing the wheelchair for Sydney.

Early on, the police had received a call from Julien and learned about their visit. Without further ado, they led them to Jane.

Jane had been locked up in the interrogation room. The police planned to keep her there for 24 hours. She was given no food but only water. She was not allowed to sleep, and they shone the light on her. The aim was to push her over the edge and make her confess.

A dozen hours had passed, and Jane's spirits were visibly drooping. Still, she refused to talk, which gave the police a headache.

After all, they rarely met this kind of tough character. Usually, only those flagitious criminals were obstinate like this because too many parties and interests were involved.

This woman, however, was just an ordinary citizen, and the crime she committed was minor. Her obstinacy was indeed intractable.

"So, you're Jane!" Sydney was wheeled into the interrogation room by Luke. In a low voice, the latter had told her that Jane was standing across the table.
